This would do nicely.

If you raise your deductable to $1000, it will lower things alot. You'd be screwed on a minor fender bender but it would still be there if you got into something serious.

Get a 02 - 04 used sportbike, pay it off cash, you don't need insurance in most states.

My problem is what the hell can I go into after driving this car that won't feel like a complete turd. What kind of car could I buy that doesn't suck (isn't fwd), comes in stick, and has a good community (nothing honda). Ya I know... million dollar question, but I have to assume that other people on here have thought about it before.. and have to have some idea.
Basically my question is this... If you couldn't have your eight anymore, what would you be able to put up with instead (especially if you could throw money at it)?
ps. if anyone calls dibs on my parts im going to cry

i pwn therefore i am
Buy K.I.T.T. off eBay. I think I saw it for around $8,000. It's RWD, literally bulletproof, and has super pursuit mode for keeping away from the law. Plus it can talk to you and keep you from wanting to drive yourself off the nearest cliff due to your financial problems.

Hahaha... well the miata sounds like a good idea. I'll have to look into it, I'll see how long I can prolong selling. It's not that I drive like an *******, I just have tons of tickets for between 6-10mph over. The speed limits here are really hard to obey, 30-35mph on almost every long, two lane, smooth road... and I'm sure you know how a lack of torque can make it feel like you're going much slower than you actually are.
Anyways, I suppose I'll look into the miata forums for now. Thanks.
